I realize absentee/mail balloting is useful for many, but at this point if you're able to vote in person or track your ballot, please do so. #election2024 #elections

Anything is possible. Such as it all being staged. Reichstag fire 2024. Question everything.
Maybe....maybe if we just keep pushing these actual, very real (and stupid) remarks & acts by Trump at public appearances, just maybe eventually corporate media can't totally ignore it. #resist
Wondering why this isn't a story? Along with Trump's plane parked next to a Russian government plane? Or Project 2025? It's on all of us to ask your local or favorite national news outlets even just to raise an eyebrow. Otherwise, all they see and hear is the right wing media echo chamber. #resist
Advertising and bitching online is one thing. Mobilizing voters is something else and these folks will try to get it done.

If you're in or near the DFW area this weekend, it appears organized opposition is called for. #resist
We know Sinclair's aim: to fan flames of doubt for progressive and Democratic governance and to support fascist corporatism and Republicans, flaws and all. But feel free to share this. #resist
As mentioned, there are many ways to resist and fight back against a now-convicted felonious former president and his braindead followers. One is to point out the hypocrisy of the "law and order" crowd who loves a guy who has spent his life & career grifting, dodging the law, thinking he & his ilk are invincible, and now was found guilty on 34 criminal counts. By a jury of his peers.
This won't change the minds of MAGA sheepdog idiots, but it could turn indie voters, those on the fence. There are plenty of ways to resist and fight back. Sharing stories like this is one such way.

Rather than re-sharing vids & screenshots of dumb things that Trump & his MAGA sheepdogs say & do, share the great words and actions of progressives and others say and do everyday. Perhaps emphasize Ken Burns' commencement speech at Brandeis or what DeNiro just said at the Trump case courthouse.
When someone has a fundamental misunderstanding of how government cannot overnight do all that they want--all that they want Biden to do--and decide this election is not worth their participation, here's a reminder of the alternative. Show it to them. #resist
Alpha males, incels, misogynists...if they wanna argue, they gotta take it up with God.
A governor who continues to demonstrate his prejudice, partisanship and love of authoritarianism. Also a governor trying to position himself for a VP bid.
If you need a reminder of life under Trump…if anyone thinks 1 or 2 issues should cause them to sit out the election.
